Lin plopped down, feet crossed. Her face were tired with black circle under her eyes. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

tok tok tok tok

That voice...

Lin started to sweat. She had been having nightmares lately, ever since she lost the very person she loved. She tried to relax herself. In.. Out.. In.. Out.. She breathed.

" Momma!" A black-haired little girl ran to her mother. Her eyes were pale green but it emanates strength and love. She looked at where her little daughter was, smiling. To the girl, she was the most beautiful woman in the world. Her eye gaze might not be perfectly set on the girl's but she knows. She always knows.

Everything went black. Tok tok tok. The little girl was now standing with her back touching the walls. Her eyes wide from fear. The long-legged creeping thing with one big oval eye was coming after her. No. Not just one.. There were tons of them.

Lin broke to tears. She was strong, how could she let nightmares got the best of her?

"Ssh," a tall bald man hugged her reassuringly. "It'll be okay. It'll be okay," he whispered in her ears. "I tried, Tenzin," she sobbed. "I know," he replied.

Tenzin poured Lin a cup of tea. "You have to let it go, Lin. Let the pain flow," he explained, patting her lap as she sipped her tea. Birds were singing happily in that calm afternoon.

"My father once explained to me that love is a form of energy, and that it swirls all around us. It'll always be in our hearts and be reborn in a new form of love."

In.. Out.. In.. Out..

Tenzin shifted his position in bed and looked at the woman sleeping beside him. He placed his hand on her cheek. "I love you," he whispered before he drifted off to sleep. 'I understand the pain, Lin. I wish I could take it from you,' he thought to himself.

"Mom? Is that you?" Lin squinted her eyes as the light grew brighter. She was in a very peculiar place where lands float. Everything she saw there seemed odd.

"Hi child," a voice echoed.

"Mom!" Lin shouted, he head turned left and right in search of her mother.

"Listen, Lin, I may not be by your side now but my love will always be with you. Remember, you're tough. Let go.. I love you."

She saw her mother now, smiling at her, glowing. She was wearing a beautiful green dress Lin had never seen before. Toph moved forward to hug her daughter then, she disappeared. "Love will be reborn in a new form. Search for it, be happy."

"Mother!" Lin sit up abruptly. "Lin," Tenzin called, "is it another nightmare?"

"No," Lin hugged her boyfriend. "It worked. I met my mom. She's pretty," she sobbed. "Thanks Tenzin. Love will always be reborn in a new form."

"Right," Tenzin said.

"I love you," she said, giving Tenzin a peck on his cheek.

"I love you too," he replied.
